Dave tried to open the washing machine

But the door was locked mid cycle

He hissed at Laura who instinctively backed away

He went out to the garage

Returning with a large sledgehammer

Smashing the glass door to retrieve his phone 

Soapy water spilled onto the kitchen floor

He tried to turn it on but the broken screen would not light up

He hurled it against the wall in rage

Laura cowered in the corner

Dave turned to her and said this is your last chance now 

Either you with me to buy us both new phones or we are done

Laura was too afraid to speak

She slowly shook her head and waited in fear

Dave walked out and slammed the front door

He drove off fast like a maniac

Knocking over the mailbox in a cloud of dust

After a lifetime of relying on the GPS navigation in his phone

He could not remember how to get to phone store

He tried typing ATT into the car navigation system

But it kept flashing error messages

He desperately tried to reprogram the directions

The car left the road and glanced off a tree

Speeding into a ditch which flipped the vehicle skyward into a rolling spin

He flinched when the car landed upside down in a field 

Laura was cleaning up the mess in the kitchen

She picked up his smashed wet phone and held it lovingly

Recalling all the fun times they had captured with it

She put it in a bag with her own wrecked phone

Wrapping a bright red ribbon around the bag

She dug a hole in back yard and gently placed the bag at the bottom

Carefully covering it with dirt while reciting a burial prayer  

You two brought Dave and I together briefly and you will both lay here eternally
